Last winter Z outgrew all of her hand knit socks, so I’m working on getting a few pairs ready for next winter. The pattern is my Kiddo Kicks and I’m making the 3-5 year size for her since she turns three this summer. Yikes! Where does the time go?!
The majority of the yarn is Shibui Sock in Sand and some long ago leftover Louet Gems Pearl Fingering weight in Brown for the top of the cuff. Zooey did not want to put these on to try yet, but she did want them in her drawer, so I’ll take that as a good sign. I think about 3 more pairs (making a total of 5) would do her well for the next cold season. For Charlotte I will probably whip up some tube socks since her feet will be growing at lightning speed.
Somehow I’ve temporarily morphed into a monogamous knitter! When I finished Breezy these socks were the only thing left on my needles and when I finished them I started some arm warmers for Matt. As soon as I said I didn’t know what to knit he supplied me with several requests including a new sweater, socks, or often requested arm warmers. I can always count on him to have a list of knits that he wants. I decided arm warmers would be the most interesting right now since I could quickly design them. After a little revision I settled on something he and I both like and I’ll have them finished to show off soon.
those socks are so sweet! I love the stripes.
So cute! I love the colors!
Very cute, especially the colours. I don’t think I’ve been knit-monogamous since I started knitting!
I’m hooked on knitting socks too! but I keep loosing my fav pattern. I swear someone is deliberately hiding it!
I love that you guys have matching socks 🙂
Kid feet are the cutest. You are so sweet to knit her socks.
I can’t wait to see the arm warmers. My 9 year old wears “Baby Legs” as arm warmers all the time.
I’ve been kind of a monogamous knitter lately too. There are quite a few things I want to knit, but instead of casting them all on, I’m slowly chipping away at the list one item at a time. It feels both good and a little strange — I wonder how long it will last.
Lovely little socks – I would want them in my drawer too! That way I could admire them everyday instead of parting with them to go into the dreaded washing basket!

As a little girl I lived on a farm. My grandma used to knit. She would guide me. I wanted to knit again but couldn’t find any knitting books in the market
Lovely sweet socks 🙂 Love that colorway too!
